Let's, go to work on the matter, ap-
point good men from every township
in the county to work for it: Would
it not be a good idea to allow each
township a certain amount of space in

let them select their managers and by
that means every section of the county
would be interested, which would in

of the fair let a committee select the
best specimens from each department
and send them to the. State Fair as a
county exhibit, in charge Of some
competent men. Much will depend

. The movement is spreading like
wild-fre. The fatmers of the whole
State are agitated. we are delighted
to see that the disease is breaking out
in bold form among our brethren of
the press. Everybody feels it. And
now since Messrs. Baxter and Bell
went to Atlanta and caught it, they
have visited the. Falcon Office and the
editors of that paper caught it from
them, and they are spreading it all
over the Albemarle section. Hear
them:
Farmers club members were
aroused to renewed activity by the
accounts Of the Atlanta trip to the
farmers convention by Messrs. Baxter
and Bell, both of whom are thorough
ly enthused in the cause of strength
ening the organization of the farmers
in u eastern counties. 1t is pro-
posed to have a general meeting of
farmers at the court house in Eliza
beth City on the second day Of the
Fair at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of
increasing the number Of organi-
zation and to make arrangements for
a two days session of the club to be
held at some convenient date, when
prominent speakers will be invited to
deliver addresses upon subjects of in

MI. Bell says that no man who was
present at the late convention at At

that had been derived through the
agency Of the farmers clubs, would
hesitate one moment to join the club
and become active in advancing the
objects for which it has been formed"

determine, on the day for your insti-

WHY NOT HIS NOBLE AND
HEROIC OLD FOLLOW
ERS ALSO?

We see that Atdjjutant,G General
Johnston Jones has informed the Ne'0s
and Observer . that each company Of
the North Carolina State Guard has
been, or~will be, invited to be present
and to participate in the ceremonies " ..
at the laying of the cornerstone OF
the Lee Monument, in Richmond, on
the 27th of next month. It is emf
nently proper that the boys should be
there, but why not their fathers also ?
This, it seems to us, is one of 1.-THE occa
sions when there might be a blending Of
the fathers " in grey" with the "boys
in blue" most appropriately. And
when, in all their lives, willthere be a
time. when these old heroes should be
called: together, cif:not when honors are
to be done their great and immortal
header d? IF Lee or Jackson were liv-
ing and had charge of the programme,
these grand old veterans would not
thus be ignored and snubbed.

DOG OR SHEEP WHICH,?

Our townsman Col. VIM. II. S.
Burgwyn, received by express on Tues
day a thoroughbred Southdown ram
from the celebrated Druid Hill Park
flock. The sire of this buck was bred
by his Royal Highness the Prince of,
Wales, at Landringham, England, and
won the first prize at the Royal Agri-
cultural Society's meeting in Carlisle
in 1880. He weighs 22O pounds, and
was purchased by the Druid Hill Park
Commission from the Prince of Wales.
in 1888.
We clip the above from the Gold
Leaf. Col. Burgwyn is n of North.
Cardinals most progressive men, and
he has our best wishes for his success
in his enterprise. But read the fol-
lowing taken from the same issue Of
the same paper on the same subject ::
"Mr. R. L. Daingerfeld had a worth
less cur belonging to some neighbor, to
kill four sheep for him a few days ago.
Two others yer badly wounded. Is
there no way to get rid of the dog
nuisance in this country? What en-
couragement has a person to import
valuable animals of this kind into our
community, las Col. Burgwyn has just
done) and attempt to raise sheep? The
risk is too great. Let the dog be
relegated to the back ground SO that
the sheep may come to the 'front.'"
is there no way to get rid of the
dog nuisance in this country p asks
II cotemporary. Plenty Of ways,
brother, but finding the law-maker
who has the courage to even suggest
a "way" is the trouble. North Caro-
lima is cursed by the presence of at
least 400, 600 worthless dogs, and a
horde Of politicians, a brigade of
whom one bench-leg fee could put to
flight. The. owner of the dog is
a numerous and powerful roter, and
there's your trouble, Bro. Manning.

MR.. JOHN E. A

He was our associate, our friend,
our brother, and we regretted to bid
him adieu. The State has lost a faith
full, loyal, progressive citizen, and the
Baptist church one of it's most worthy,
noble and useful young men. There
are thousands of hearts in our State
that will follow him and his family
with their richest benedictions. He
and his family boarded the train
on Tuesday morning for his new field
Of labor, at Colorado Springs, Colorado.
We will hear from him through The

THREATENED HAY FAMINE.

Gen. S. d. Lee, of the Mississippi
Agricultural College, issues the follow
ing open letter to the farmers of that
State. His suggestions are equally
valuable for North Carolina farmers !:
The grass crop of the West, North
west and New England is practically
a failure, particularly ia the Old and
New West, as shown by the recent re-
port Of the Agricultural Department,
which l quote: "ln many districts
in Illinois and Indiana, and in some.
East and West and North of those
States, farmers are feeding their stock
as in winter on account of pasture fail
ure. * = * Pastures have suffered
from drouth over a large area embrac-
ing many counties in Western New
York and Pennsylvania and in West.
Virginia., Kentucky and Tennessee,
with much larger proportions of the
e Of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Him
OILS, Wisconsin and Iowa, and a con-
siderable number of counties 10 Min
nesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
and Dakota,
This state of facts will cause almost
a hay famine in the regions of large
consumption, including cities, towns
and manufacturing ,centers. | there
fore urge on the hay.makers of Missis-
sippi to put up, free from weeds and
in merchantable condition, as large an
amount of hay as possible, feeling as
sured that all good hay will find a
ready sale during the winter and
spring. particularly urge that the
Japan clover crop be-harvested during
September and up to frost: 1t is
easier cured than any other hay and
has the highest nutritive value.
Arrangements will be perfected for
rates on the railroads, and the larger
the supply in any locality the better
will be the rates.. S. D.. LEE,
Pres. Miss. Grass and Hay Assn.
